July 28, 2015 – Hamilton, Ontario - Parks Canada
David Sweet, Member of Parliament for Ancaster—Dundas—Flamborough—Westdale, on behalf of the Honourable Leona Aglukkaq, Minister of the Environment and Minister responsible for Parks Canada, today announced the intent to transfer the Marine Discovery Centre to the City of Hamilton.
The Harper Government is proud to work with the City of Hamilton and the Hamilton Waterfront Trust to support waterfront development and to promote opportunities for residents and visitors to experience Hamilton’s waterfront. This will allow for economic benefits and increased tourism.
The intent to transfer will also allow opportunities to expand and attract new types of development aimed at enhancing the area as a community and recreational destination. The transfer of the Marine Discovery Centre to the City of Hamilton will add to the future of Hamilton’s flourishing waterfront.
